Are you type 1, 1.5l late onset or type 2. Because if your type 1 it's already been attacked( and depending when you were diagnosed, you could be in the honeymoon stage, so still making a bit, of insulin, but that will stop). My pancreas is already shot, as I've been diabetic for 30 odd years, but only got a pump in Nov last year, after fighting for, fir 15years and to be honest the control it has given me, they will have to break my hands to get it back. So it depends where you are with your diabetes.
